Could "SUV bashing" mean the comeback of people carriers? Renault's design boss thinks so
Renault design boss Gilles Vidal predicts the people carrier could make a comeback to shake up the family car market as designers explore new ways of boosting efficiency and depart from the hallmarks of conventional SUV styling. People carriers, or multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), used to be big business in Europe, with the likes of the Renault Scenic, Vauxhall Zafira, Ford Galaxy and Citroën Picasso claiming a huge share of the regional car market (the segment accounted for more than 10% at one point) on the basis of their ability to accommodate seven occupants in a tall cabin, while occupying a footprint comparable with an estate car. The decline of the MPV began in 2006 when Nissan launched the Qashqai - effectively the genesis of the crossover segment, which would come to be the default choice for family motoring and dominate Europe's car market. Currently, SUVs account for more than half of all European car sales, while MPVs have dropped to a market share in the low single digits. But Gilles Vidal says the transition to electrification could bring about a renaissance for the MPV segment, as car makers strive to make their vehicles as efficient as possible and exploit the packaging freedoms of EV 'skateboard' architecture. He said: "SUVs won the battle against the MPVs because MPVs are cars that you need but you don't desire, and suddenly SUVs with the same engines, same weight, same everything - they are shapes that you will desire. "Now there's an SUV bashing going on in Europe, especially. You would never do MPV bashing because it's a very respectable family car - but it's equally polluting, equally heavy, equally everything, so that's a weird society twist." Vidal added that the general concept of an SUV "is still attractive today for most people, and still a functional car in terms of size, roominess and practicality". But he said that as cars become more aerodynamic in pursuit of efficiency, we could see a return to lower, sleeker and more MPV-like silhouettes. "What will probably happen with SUVs is they will try to be more and more efficient, so maybe slightly lower and better in aerodynamics. They will morph into a very efficient car, less energy consuming, with equivalent habitability and roominess and everything that's probably the trend." He said Renault's segment-straddling Emblème concept (pictured below), due in production in the coming years as the first of a new-generation electric car line-up, is a 'morphing of all of that' – with a raised ride height but a sleeker, lower profile than any of Renault's current SUVs.

New Nissan Qashqai e-Power 2025 review: impressive efficiency in an unusual way
The Qashqai e-Power is a unique, and slightly unusual, proposition in the ever-expanding sea of hybrid family SUVs. Around town, its clever powertrain delivers a genuinely EV-like drive, while the newly enhanced version brings noticeable improvements in refinement and fuel economy on the motorway. The cherry on top is that the updated set-up will be cheaper to run, in terms of trips to the pump and maintenance, which buyers will appreciate in the long term. Advertisement - Article continues below The Nissan Qashqai received much more aggressive styling, an interior overhaul and new Google-backed tech as part of its extensive mid-lift facelift last year, but there were no changes under the bonnet at the time. Presumably because the brand's engineers were still toiling away on the next evolution of its e-Power hybrid system, which is finally ready to be rolled out later this month. The unique set-up is designed to deliver as close to an EV-like driving experience as possible – without the driver having to worry about range or charging – by only using an electric motor to drive the front wheels. The petrol engine acts solely as a generator to charge a 1.8kWh lithium-ion battery, which in turn powers the e-motor. For the third iteration of its e-Power set-up, Nissan has designed an all-new five-in-one electric drive unit that shares core components with the latest Leaf EV. By putting everything into one unit, not only does it mean the system is now more efficient, but it also emits less noise and vibrations, to help improve refinement. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below View Qashqai View Qashqai View Qashqai View Qashqai There's also a new, dedicated 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a larger turbocharger so the motor doesn't have to rev as high on the motorway, further boosting refinement and efficiency simultaneously, while the company's 'STARC combustion concept' supposedly improves thermal efficiency by up to 42 per cent. As well as reducing fuel consumption, Nissan has managed to increase the service intervals from 9,000 to 12,000 miles, which will allow buyers to save money on maintenance. Advertisement - Article continues below The result of all this is that the Qashqai e-Power can now average up to 62mpg, compared with roughly 54mpg before. It also consumes less fuel while cruising on the motorway which, in theory, should allow drivers to cover up to 745 miles on a single tank of petrol. Meanwhile CO2 emissions have dropped from 117g/km to 102g/km, and cabin noise has fallen by 5.6dB. Nissan has also tweaked the hybrid system's power output, because customers apparently wanted to feel more of a difference when switching into Sport mode. Now, in Normal mode, the e-motor produces 188bhp and 311Nm of torque, but switching to Sport ups it to 203bhp and 330Nm; that's enough to whittle the official 0-62mph time down from 7.9 to 7.6 seconds. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below To try and appreciate the improvements in the driving experience, we tested the outgoing and new Qashqai e-Power back-to-back, and there is a definite (if very subtle) improvement in refinement. For instance, the old engine sounded harsher and seemed to emit a constant drone while cruising on the motorway, then roaring into life when we floored the throttle. By contrast, the new one is generally much quieter, especially on the motorway, as Nissan promised. Advertisement - Article continues below In town, however, we found it impossible to tell the difference between the two cars, which is understandable because both are propelled by a silent electric motor. We often noticed a delay in power delivery when trying to accelerate, however, which breaks the illusion that you're driving an EV. We still like the stronger regenerative braking setting, which Nissan calls the e-Pedal mode, that you activate easily by a pressing button on the centre console. It might not deliver the genuine one-pedal driving you get in some EVs, but it does slow the car considerably when you lift off the throttle and helps in town-centre traffic. The only downside is that, when you hit the open road, the brake pedal doesn't feel as natural as when you switch the system off. Nissan says it's also updated its 'ProPilot' adaptive cruise control system. Among the improvements are an automatic and predictive speed limit function, which can slow the car down in preparation for a new speed limit to help prevent drivers from getting tickets. Unfortunately, the company hasn't come up with an easier way for drivers to silence the incessant bonging from the various other driver-assistance systems. The speed-limit warning and lane-keep assist were particularly vocal during our test drive. To turn systems like this off, you have to use the buttons on the steering wheel to trawl through various menus on the digital driver's display, which is as slow, overly complicated and distracting a process as it sounds. We're surprised Nissan hasn't found an easier solution for drivers, like the 'My Safety Perso' button you get in Renaults and Dacias. We've been told the new Nissan Qashqai e-Power will cost the same as the existing version, which is available from £34,860 – nearly £2,000 more than a mild-hybrid automatic model in the same specification. The first cars featuring the new and improved e-Power set-up are due to arrive on customers' driveways by September.

Buyers told 'shop around' as car colour could quietly add £4,500 to cost
Car buyers have been warned that the colour of your vehicle could quietly add up to £4,500 onto the price you pay. Auto Express is urging buyers to take a closer look at paint pricing, which can significantly affect the final cost of a vehicle. While it's well known that high-end options such as upgraded audio systems or oversized alloy wheels can inflate the price, a less obvious – and often overlooked – cost is the paint colour itself. But analysis by Auto Express has found that for some mainstream models, buyers will be paying more than £700 over the base price just for choosing a colour that isn't white or red. 'People assume the colour of their car is a cosmetic decision – but in today's market, it can hit your wallet harder than you think,' said Paul Barker, Editor of Auto Express. 'We're seeing huge discrepancies in paint pricing between manufacturers, and they're not always obvious at first glance. It's catching people out – and can turn what should be a fun part of car buying into a bit of a nightmare.' Paint charges vary wildly between car makers, so if colour is a key consideration, Paul urges motorists to shop around. 'It's entirely likely that anyone shopping for a new Nissan Qashqai might also have a Skoda Karoq on their shortlist, for example,' said Paul, 'Unless you want your Qashqai in red, you'll need to budget another £745 above the list price to cover the paint, whereas you can have your Skoda in any one of five colours including a pearl finish and so-called Exclusive Meteor Grey completely free of charge. 'Even the optional bright red or orange finishes are only £410. So, if you're not having your Qashqai in red, the cost of this mid-size SUV has jumped up by at least £335 – and most likely more than £700 – versus the Skoda.' Premium brands take it even further. On a BMW X3, 26 paint options cost from £875 to over £4,500, while Audi only offers white as standard on the Q3, charging £575 for all other colours – or a £4,000 for a custom finish. Even within the VW Group, there's inconsistency: SEAT lets you pick any colour free on the Ateca, while VW's Tiguan includes eight out of nine colours at no cost – yet Audi holds firm on its charges. Paint pricing by model - what you'll really pay for colour Nissan Qashqai - free colour, red only. other colours: £745 extra Skoda Karoq - free colours, five options, including pearl-effect and exclusive meteor grey. optional bright finishes (e.g. red/orange): £410 Seat Ateca - all colours free of charge Volkswagen Tiguan - free colours, 8 out of 9 options, 'exclusive' paint option: £1,310 Audi Q3 - free colour, white only, standard colours: £575, custom finish: £4,000 BMW X3 - free colour, white only, optional colours: £875 to £4,585 Ford Kuga -free colour, white only, other colours: £800 Vauxhall Grandland - free colour, metallic black, other colours: £650 Maserati Granturismo Folgore (premium model example) - optional matte paint: up to £18,000 'Colour should be about personal taste, not personal financial pain,' Barker said. 'In many cases, the price of paint can be the difference between a deal and a disappointment. And if you're financing the car, those costs stick with you every month for years.' 'Don't get dazzled by a glossy showroom finish,' Barker added. 'It might look great under the lights, but it could be hiding a serious hit to your budget. Understand what you're paying for – and don't let colour choice cloud your judgement.'

Find cars for under £200 on Sun Motors here. Nissan Qashqai used car review The Nissan Qashqai may have a name that you'll struggle to spell, but its appeal isn't hard to spot. It's a crossover SUV, which means it looks like a car that's capable of running off-road and has an elevated driving position, but in reality, it's a pretty refined and reliable city vehicle. We're going to talk about the second-generation (and subsequent) models that launched in 2013. With this version, Nissan ironed out all the faults and created the UK's favourite (sort of) SUV. The Qashquai is now beloved by middle managers, school-run mums and dads, and anyone for whom a MINI was just a little bit too small. Modern versions are bigger and look more aggressive, but, for our money, don't look as good. 7 Models such as this Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi n-tec+ SUV 5dr Diesel Manual 2WD Euro 6 can be found on Sun Motors for as little as £130 per month - it has 68K miles and is from 2015 The high-up driving position offers great visibility, and the responsive handling makes the car manoeuvrable enough to slide into that supermarket parking spot. OK, so performance-wise it's not going to knock your socks off or make you smile too much, but it's a family car, so we never expected it would. There have been far too many engine variations (including petrol, diesel, hybrid, and the latest e-POWER powertrain) for us to run through them all. Reviewers seem to favour the 1.3-litre DIG-T 140 mild-hybrid petrol engine, and we won't argue. Bad points are, as you'd expect, few and far between. The Qashqai is quite expensive as a used car, with other makes and models perhaps a little cheaper to buy, run and insure. The Qashqai is, like lots of crossovers, a bit of a fake too. It's not really an off-roader like the Range Rover, but not many people need that sort of performance (or can afford the price). How to check your eligibility for the Nissan Qashqai 7 Sun Motors offers a 60 seconds finance checker to check your eligibility and avoid disappointment when searching for your dream car What's helpful is that Sun Motors offers a quick budget check so you can see your realistic borrowing limit before you browse. Start by using our "How much can I borrow?" tool to get an instant estimate of how much you can borrow. Are Nissan Qashqais reliable? The Nissan Qashqai isn't quite as reliable as the bullet-proof Nissan cars of old, with the 2014-21 diesel models in particular suffering from engine and exhaust problems. Overall, though, it's a sturdy family motor that shouldn't leave you stranded by the roadside. Try to buy one with a full service history, ensure all recalls have been completed, and verify receipts for any work done. How much is a Nissan Qashqai? Nissan Qashqais start from £5,000 for a 10-year old (2015) model with over 100,000 miles on the clock. Nearly new models, including the e-POWER version, can cost over £35,000. As a ballpark, expect to pay around £15-17,000 for a 2020 Qashqai. It's not the cheapest car on the market, with some used models as expensive as a new Dacia Duster, for example, but it'll hold its value. Can I get finance for a Nissan Qashqai? Finance is a great way to buy a used Nissan Qashqai. You can spread the cost over a set period with fixed monthly payments allowing you to budget effectively. Understanding how much you can borrow before you start searching is vital, which is why Sun Motors Finance tool gives you the power.

The Nissan Qashqai isn't a true 4x4 like a Land Rover or Range Rover, for example, but you can find both front-wheel drive (FWD) and four-wheel drive (AWD) models on the market. In off-road mode, the 4x4 Qashqai will tackle difficult terrain like mud and gravel, much more confidently than the 2WD version. Most drivers who really need 4WD performance should look elsewhere.
